You're right about that over exaggeration except you're the one doing it. The Apple II came out 40 years ago this April. The Altair 8800 article that inspired Bill Gates was years old by that point. This is also the 40th anniversary of the TRS-80 and Commodore PET.
It would be a smaller exaggeration than your nugget to say there were 1000 different *models* of home computer on the market 40 years ago.
Let's look per $100,000 of value. I put down $20,000. Now it's worth $200,000. So I made $100,000 on a $20,000 investment. Subtract interest, taxes, and other living expenses. I have lived for free and tripled my money.
Where's your 20 year BS? That was 6 years and the house made more than me every single month of that time. I can pay off the loan any day I want to cash out my profit and sell the house to move.
The article is talking about people who are basically saying they've lived in the city forever and are now being displaced from their hometown. And they should have some kind of right to say because it's been their home so long. Land was relatively cheap their decades ago. If they'd chosen to buy, they'd be rich now. Since they chose to rent, they deserve to be displaced by people who aren't idiots like they are.
You're talking about buying property now. Why do you think people should have some kind of right to live in the one of the most expensive markets in the country if they can't afford it?
This reminds me of all the millennial flowers who say how great renting is and stupid home ownership is because their rent payment is lower than a mortgage payment and they're not tied down. In my market, I've owned a home for 6 years and the price has doubled. I put 20% down originally, so as an investment, I have literally tripled my money in 6 years. My house made a heck of a lot more over the past 6 years than I did working full time. Effectively, I've lived for free and made more than my salary just by owning a house.
As prices go up, I will never be priced out of the market because I own the building and land. If that ever causes my taxes to become unaffordable, selling the property will make me so rich I can afford to retire and live well almost anywhere else in the country. Anyone too stupid to understand that deserves to be priced out of where they want to live.
So the quality is so low it's not worth a few dollars but it's worth hours of your life. I feel bad for you that your life is so bad you can value your time that low. If the content is that low quality, I'm not going to waste my time watching it.
You download stuff that's not worth the effort to watch their way.
The research found that those who used more profanity were also more likely to use language patterns that have been shown in previous research to be related to honesty, such as using pronouns like "I" and "me."
Well fuck me, I never heard such bullshit. I know these fucktards pull shit out of their assholes and fling at real researchers it while crying "me. me. me, I get all the research money. Fucking nonsense, I think these piece of shit researchers need to be fired. Listen to me people.
It doesn't meet the modern demand of reporting everything you do with your computer back to several companies. It doesn't remotely preload ads software you don't.
Also, while you're on your breaks in your burger flipping job, start reading Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming". It might help you at least understand what CS actually is and where you went wrong.
[My] curriculum is rather broad, ranging from systems programming on a Raspberry Pi to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C, Java, JPA, Python, Go, Node.js, software design patterns, basic network stuff (mostly Cisco) and various database technologies...... With these skills under my belt, what career path should I pursue?
That fact that you even think it's relevant to mention any of that after completing a CS degree tells us you went to a school where you degree is worth less than it's weight in toilet paper.
Those are not skills relevant to CS. It's like saying "I spent 4 years learning how to use a pen, now what genre of literature should I write?". Did you not learn about data structures, algorithms, how an OS works? "Basic network stuff" is more OSI model, distributing computing, etc. If they even mentioned the word Cisco in your class, you went to a shit school.
I'd suggest you see if your local McDonalds needs any burger flippers.
This is why the system is so screwed up. Even if prices shot up 50%, every cent would go to boost the American economy, and everyone would win over the medium and long term. And so replace your iPhone every 3 years instead of every 2. Same money spent, plus 1 million Chinese jobs can move back to America. Using your phone a bit longer is a small price to pay.
And how much of this dirt cheap Chinese manufacturing ends up costing so much more (sulphur drywall in florida homes, formaldehyde in wood flooring, poison pet food and baby formula, etc, etc, etc). And how much of it ends up in American landfills before the box it was shipped in does? Just buy less garbage, and manufacturer more expensive tech that you'll keep longer. Better for America, better for the average person even paying the higher price, and better for the planet.
The problem is all the idiot voters who can't see past their next pay check until that pay check never comes again.
"have to wait until 2017" means you'll be lucky if they dump out a half-baked buggy, premature model right on December 31st, 2017. They'll try patching it in software but it will never work right until version 2.
Why I work (government) they certainly can. We just have assholes who choose not to because they feel like they're being some kind of hero by sucking it up, coming in anyway, and sneezing all over everyone.
Who do you want to be creative in their work? The person putting together your fast food hamburger? The person changing the brakes on your car? The person collecting your garbage?
And when you do come up with a good answer, that will be a job that's not going to be replaced by automation any time soon. But for 99% of jobs, having any element of creativity is a disadvantage.
I think the point is that using these particular Senators as projectiles would do more to benefit American interests than using these $800,000 shells would.

What part of "Commercial" does the dumbass who posted this not understand?

People who own homes are making a fortune out of this boom.
The only story here is that people who are stupid enough to rent deserve to be displaced when their landlords strike it rich.

No wonder Ole' Zuckey is so so desperate to milk every bit of personal information he can from Oculus.

Such a primitive OS.
Steam has a pretty fantastic return policy. If a game looks good try it. If you pass the 2 hours, you probably like it enough to keep it anyway.
And youtube gameplay videos come out very fast and 5-10 minutes of watching one goes a long way to knowing if you'll like the game.
And how many of these H1(b)'s are doing engineering work at MS? Well, some from Canada but that's about it.
iHole would be the naming convention under Steve Jobs. Under Timmy, the proper name is the A-Hole. It's a good match for the A-Watch and A-TV.

How are you enjoying your iPhone 7?
Most AAA titles these days cost a heck lot more than $50 million to make. GTAV was $265 million.
For modern AAA games, $50 million in sales is a huge flop. But this 1-button masher is not an AAA title.

Well, now we know what the flagship feature will be for the 2021 model iPhone. Plus model only, of course.

But this is something that good storytelling already does. Heck, you can be immersed in a different world with words written on a sheet of paper.
True, but then the movie and tv industries shouldn't exist. I'm not sure what logic you use to draw the line at VR.

Over in the Apple forum they're saying iOS and Android are both doing well with a combined 99% market share.
